Carol Perkins: A teacher speaks out on groupings, testing "A very wise principal once said, 'Thank goodness there wasn't grouping when I was in school because I would surely have been a blackbird.' For the next earlier Carol Perkins story, click on Put that phone away! By Carol Sullivan I am not a brilliant person. One a scale of 1-10 with ten the highest, I am about an eight in most academic areas. I could never quite master algebra, trig, or geometry. Good thing I didn't go into engineering. However, I thought I was as smart as the smartest in my class except for Conne' DeVore Baker, my close friend and our class Valedictorian, who also tutored half the class toward graduation. The reason I never thought about my intelligence is because none of my teachers made me feel less than bright. I can't say that was true for other students, and I always wondered how they felt.
